October 14, 2020
5G is on its way soon, Fibre optic internet connections to expand, internet access upgrades coming to all 450 schools in Cyprus – these are all improvements underway for Cyprus telecommunications.
The entire Cyprus network is seeing a digital transformation; Cyta CEO Andreas Neocleous tells us about the latest developments.
CM: One still hears complaints from businesspeople in Cyprus about telecommunications infrastructure. They say that networking with other countries is still too slow?
Neocleous: There is some latency in international internet connectivity, which is the time it takes for data to travel from Cyprus to its final destination. Latency improvement is limited by physics, due to the long distance between Cyprus and western Europe where the closest major internet hubs are located.
